Weird Font Issue. Missing Spaces?!?!?

Okay, i have a really bizarrrrrre problem. I received some
flash files from a friend of mine. And when i goto edit them i
notice there is NO space between the letters F and I ---- only
those two letters in that order. Everything else is fine. I've
tried differernt fonts, and on some it's fine, and on others no
space. I've made a new document, and used the same font and get NO
problem. So it's something in that FLA file. But what the heck??!?
Does anyone have ANY idea how to remedy this problem?
(and yes, it's not a kern/ letter spcing issue - actually,
that will increase the space, but it's starting out as the F and
the I ontop of each other, so i have to kern like mad to make them
look normal)
Flash 7 on OSX 10.4.6

I'm marking this "answered" because Quark helped me find a workaround for part of the problem. However, the underlying cause is still unknown and I'm still experiencing font substitution messages even though the fonts should be the same because they're all from the same source.

  • Font issues & Missing Links

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the issue of fonts & missing links!?
    Basically, when we create a document in Indesign using Mac 1, and save it on the server (for someone else to open) , When the user on Mac 2 opens it the font and the pictures are missing! Even though,  all the same fonts installed on each machine and the pictures are all on our server stored in the same place and not been moved / modified since placing it on the page!
    Its only happening on one Mac - we have reinstalled CS4 and still no improvement!
    To me, it seems a mystery, but I am sure there is an explanation somewhere!!
    HELP!
    Thanks,
    Fiona

    You bet. I've checked and double-checked. What is really wierd is that I can open another In Design document that is using the same font, and it is perfectly ok.

  • InDesign font issue - displaying spaces as "D" using Fontin Sans

    I've been having a strange font problem in InDesign CS3 for a couple days. When opening docs using ex libris' font "Fontin Sans" (in various weights) ID is messing with the formatting and instead of spaces is displaying a capital "D". I figured it was a corrupt font, but I deleted and reinstalled the font and it works fine in other programs. The issue isn't 100%, either. Yesterday I switched to another font and then switched back to Fontin Sans, and it worked fine, for a time. I've been using this font for a while in a variety of projects without issue.
    Besides that it works in other programs, another reason I suspect this isn't a specific issue with this font is that when I opened a couple web pages yesterday (NY Times and my company's own home page) much of the plain text was completely garbled (symbols and such, no recognizable words), and that certainly wasn't a Fontin Sans issue. The two things seem unrelated, but as they both started happening yesterday I wonder if they're connected. The web text-display issue seems to have gone away today, however, while the Fontin/ID issue remains.
    I don't even know where to start on this one. I'm using CS3, Mac Pro Intel, OS 10.4. No updates in the past couple days on font managers or CS3.

    Delete your font cache. Download a free font cache cleaner utility. I have font finagler which may or may not be free. Can't recall.

  • Really Weird Font Issues...

    I'm not sure what happened, but I keep seeing a certain font on different webpages I visit and in Word documents that I am viewing. This font isn't set in the document or on the webpage at all. Is there some sort of CSS Style Sheet or default font that you can set for the OS? I don't have the issue with my laptop. Just my desktop and its driving me insane! I thought it was just a Safari issue, but I can see the same font when I'm working in Word. Please help.

    oh and being in my pocket is just an example of the phone going in to sleep mode...it also does it at night etc. Essentially, just an extended period (over 10 minutes) of not being used.

  • Weird font issues transitioning from KDE to GTK apps

    I'm having some strange issues happening between programs. Firefox and Pidgin, two GTK apps, can render kanji symbols fine. However, if I attempt the same in Konqueror or Konsole, they render as boxes.
    Clearly I have the right fonts. What do I do to make Konqueror read them properly?

    Justin, Try the following:
    1) Quit all open applications.
    2) If you have 'Helvetica Fractions', 'Times Phonetic' or 'Rougue Stencil-Type' fonts installed, delete them.
    3) Delete your fonts caches with *Font Finagler*, FontNuke or OnyX +(or with whatever utility you normally use)+
    *Font Finagler <http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/> (this is the BEST utility)*
    FontNuke <http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/>
    OnyX <http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html>
    4) Restart your Mac
    5) Open your Font Book->Edit menu 'Select All' fonts - from the File menu select 'Validate Fonts'
    from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
    Good luck,

  • Weird Font Issues

    Hello, just got an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo today, and after migrating all of my stuff over from my G5 I noticed the font for certain pages in safari and ichat was weird, and I can't figure out how to get it back. I had this problem a while back on my G5 but don't remember how I solved it. I have a picture to show what the font looks like.

  • [SOLVED]: Weird font issues with infinality-bundle on upgrade

    Ive been using the infinality-bundle for some time with no problem until a recent update, and it seems like all my fonts got replaced with stranger ones.  Below is a screenshot of my font problem and a snippet from my pacman.log.

    The recent Infinality update requires a uninstall/install of fontconfig.  I posted the same problem here:

  • Weird font issue

    I'm trying to create something with greek lettering.  I'm using Symbol which usually works.  However, for some reason it's doing everything in capital letters despite having typed in the words in capital and lowercase letters.  The lowercase letters are showing as capital only smaller.  This is not what I want.  The font works fine everywhere else including illustrator but not in photoshop.  I need to be able to enter the text (correctly) onto a path and I'm stuck.  What can I do to correct this?

    Check your CHARACTER panel (if not visible, choose Window - Character).  See if you don't have the Small Caps function turned on.

  • Weird font issues! already repaired fonts, archive install

    it hapends in
    safari
    adium
    text edit
    and a few other programs, needless to say, its system wide, not just one application!!

    Make sure you delete the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic if you have them. The screen shot is too poor to tell for sure, but it looks like the former (or a similar font that replaces Latin with math symbols).

  • Weird font issue in iTunes store

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my itunes in my macbook pro retina start displaying gibberish in itunes....

    all the
    small type displays as strange nonsense characters.
    Some mail messages also show the strange high-bit
    characters where normal text should be. I don't know
    which font might be causing this.
    The most common cause of such problems is the font Times Phonetic. If you have it, dump it.
    If you like, send a screen shot for verification (tom at bluesky dot org).

  • Terminus 9pt font issue in Konsole after upgrade

    I have a slightly weird font issue in Konsole following a bunch of upgrades today. Basically, at the beginning of the command line and the beginning of subsequent words on that line, the very first character sort of flashes and gets truncated if it is one of several letters. Very narrow characters are not affected (e.g. i) but most are (e.g. n, g, m, r etc.). Once I press enter, the characters look perfectly normal - the issue only occurs on the line being edited and while I am entering or within words as opposed to spaces. Moreover, it only occurs for the first letters of words. Subsequent letters look fine. Once a space is typed following the first word, the character looks normal unless and until I type another letter or return to edit the first word. If I type "cat" it will be a truncated c; at "cat " all looks fine; then "cat c" and the first c is truncated; "cat cat " all is well; "cat c" with the cursor moved back over the second c and the second c rather than the first is truncated.
    Any thoughts as to what I should check? I'm using the infinality stuff from AUR. I updated that last night. However, I don't _think_ I saw the issue today until after upgrading the kernel. Here are the last entries from pacman.log:

    I'm using Terminus (TTF) in size 9 in Konsole. This hasn't been changed for quite a while.
    Any suggestions on how best to troubleshoot this? Is it possible that I need to rebuild some other AUR packages associated with the infinality ones but which haven't actually been updated? Or is it likely to be to do with something else in the list?
    EDIT: It only seems to be some fonts at some sizes e.g. Monaco 8pt is OK but Terminus 9pt isn't; Terminus 10pt is OK; etc.

  • Iweb missing font issue

    When I open iweb I get a pop up window which tells me that there's a missing font CourierNewPSMT
    Could someone tell me how to get rid of it, and it only happens in Freestyle template
    I couldn't find CourierNewPSMT font anywhere

    Hi,
    I suddenly started getting messages in iWeb that said the Font "ArialMT" is substituted for the missing font "Arial".. But it was only happening on new pages I had created.. Can't say what had changed much on my system for this to occur.. But had me baffled because FontBook HAD Arial and NO ArialMT..
    Anyway to cut a long story short.. I didn't want Arial as the font anyway as we're changing over to Verdana.. It didn't matter if I selected all on the webpage and changed it all to Verdana, i'd still get the error message regarding ArialMT and Arial..
    So my fix was to navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    1. Copy the file "Domain" somewhere else as a backup (desktop is good)
    2. Right click on the "Domain" file inside ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and Show Package Contents
    Now this is where many people say open index.xml.gz and look for the problem fonts.. Well in my experience index.xml doesn't have any code regarding fonts.. SO another folder caught my attention inside "Domain" called "domain-0B29016B-4545-4DC4-9DDB-74AA1E25AJ34.. If you have this folder it will probably have a different string of letters and numbers to mine..
    3. Go into your "domain-xxx etc" folder and navigate down to the first compressed xml file you can fint.. I had like 30 because I have almost 30 blog type pages in my site (just the way its designed I guess).. Anyway if you uncompress the .xml.gz file you've found and open that in text edit you'll probably be able to find font information in there.
    As I had many to have to find and replace on I found it easier, to select all the .gz files and open them all together which mass uncompressed them in their relative locations.. Then I had to go through and delete the original .gz files otherwise iWeb won't save and publish the code changes you make. In otherwords, you need to have ONLY .xml files left over and iWeb will recompress them when you save in iWeb next.. I also used dreamweaver to mass find and replace the code, but textedit can do it one by one.
    Hope this helps anyone having this issue..
    I know if I went and made a brand new page in iWeb it will get this font issue again on the new page.. So my next task is to find the original template files and change the font instances in it so new pages don't cause headaches..

  • Missing font issue - even though the font is installed

    Hi,
    I have a InDesign document with a EPS link in it. This EPS contains a mathematical equation, which is created with the font called 'System (T1) Medium'. When I open the InDesign document it says that the font is missing (in the 'Find Font' dropdown) and the equation's mathematical symbols are replaced by a different font showing wrong symbols.
    The font is installed and the EPS file shows up correctly when viewed in Illustrator.
    What can I do from here? I use Windows 8 and InDesign CC.
    Thanks!

    I managed to convert them all by using an Action in Illustrator.
    Is there a way/script to rename all the links in my InDesign document at once, so I don't have to replace them all manually?
    Link1.eps would be Link1.ai
    Link2.eps would be Link2.ai
    ...and so on.
    Thanks!

  • Font issue in Acrobat 8

    We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
    Thanks

    I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
    When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
    If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
    When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
    This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
    Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
    Thanks
